About this listen
A new team of Reckoners must infiltrate the flying city of Lux to take down the Epic Lifeforce in this audio-exclusive novel from Brandon Sanderson, the best-selling author of the "Stormlight Archive" and "Mistborn" series, and co-author Steven Michael Bohls.
When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right.
Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.
They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled.
Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.
But now, the mysterious High Epic Lifeforce has arrived with his flying city, Lux, to plunder what's left of Texas. So Jax and his ragtag team - the few who remain of the once-mighty Texas Reckoners - must take their battle to this floating fortress of riches - and defeat the invincible.
To avenge what has been lost. And rise anew.

Ok story with TERRIBLE voiceover
The story was ok, not Sanderson's best but even his worst is better than most!
The voiceover of was absolutely terrible. All the female characters were the male author making a terrible impression, they all sounded like gremlins.

Pretty dark story for a book called Lux!
Really enjoyed this, as usual a very imaginative story and brilliantly delivered by the narrator.

Great book
Loved every second of it. Great story and well performed.
There is a slight production error in chapter 39 around 50 seconds. Other than that very good!

Epic
Great installment in the Reckoner series. I thoroughly enjoyed the storytelling, characters and plot.
Also, this in the best audiobook I’ve heard so far. MacLeod Andrews skills in bringing all the voices to life is nothing short of epic - the good kind of epic.
For a comparison, I do not like the Stormlight voices, and my previous favorite narrated book was Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, narrated by Ray Porter. That one’s also really good, except for getting the Dutch accent wrong, and as most films making it German. So a close second, but MacLeod tops it with this one.

Decent listen.
As I understand it this book wasn't primarily written by Sanderson and it shows. Where the original Reckoners trilogy is a mix of A-team and YA detective story, this one is more McGuyver. That is, the team is constantly reacting and finding Ex Machina solutions to impossible situations. While there was certainly a degree of improvising and good luck present in the original trilogy as well, it goes a couple of steps to far here making it feel more like an action movie. The lore goes a bit overboard as well, think midichlorians in the SW universe.
Still, its a good read. The narrator is fantastic and the story is still entertaining once you choose to stop caring about the slightly annoying things.

Ok but a little messy
I did like the Reckoners series but it has been a while since i finished them.
This is a offshoot, thins are happening in parallel to the main series and i forgot most of the details.
This is best read immediately after Calamity to get the most out of it.

Excellent expansion to the Reckoners world
Loved this story. It fits into the established Reckoners world wonderfully, whilst expanding on the ideas and being its own individual story. Really fun new characters and I'll look forward to the sequel.

Finally a continuation from the steelheart series
Loved it all the way. A lot of people are asking where does this story take place in the Steelheart timeline? This story exactly matches the steelheart series from start to finish, all ready to carry on from the end of the last series book.
Is it the start of a new series? I will let you decide 😉
